I mean like, B/X where the X isn't a splash (B/U soulbond, when all the best things Black has going for it in AVR is stuff like Bonesplinters, Bloodflow C., Demonic Taskmaster etc)

Demonic Taskmaster is pretty bad, tbh.

I mean... I'm not going to splash B for Taskmaster, but... it's not a patently bad card. Definitely better than Bloodflow C (which I highly overrate because I pulled off fun tricks in a RB deck one draft), and a lot of the other black cards. 4/3 fliers for 3 aren't exactly fun to face.

I would take BFC over DT like 95% of the time...

Demonic taskmaster is awful in limited.

Do you really think a 4/3 flyer on turn 3 is going to win you the game? If it's not, what are your options?

1) Play 4/3 flyer. Swing every turn. Win on turn 9, assuming no blockers/removal. Yay? Every time you drop a blocker to stall opponent it immediately dies
2) Play 4/3 flyer. Swing minimally. Leave back to block. Opponent gets to build board while you do nothing. Yay? Fail.

lets not even mention what happens if Defang or Spectral Prison is played on it.

You've got options with it though. Whenever it becomes cumbersome you can use it in bonesplinters, sac it to a BFC, even a lame pair with undying Butcher Ghoul. Obviously he's not your only win condition, but he's certainly a playable with outlets.

I dont know why I would want a win condition I have to jump through that many hoops for when I can just play good ones instead.

Because we don't live in a perfect world where you can draft 2-4 copies of each bomb in the set? You've gotta fill out a deck somehow, I'm just saying it's a playable card in AVR mono black draft.

I play MB frequently in AVR and I have never felt like I had to play taskmaster. Like, I think its made it into my deck like 2 or 3 times as a 23rd. I think its really awful.

Furthermore, I think the bitching about "playables" in AVR is just that, bitching. I almost never have trouble filling my deck. You guys are just in the wrong colors if you're not getting enough playables.

Just got back from my first face-to-face MTG event, and got 4th. Not bad for a Blood Artist deck that forgot to buy any Blood Artists.

I have won games on decks using DT going UB loner.

And I won an 8-4 with this >.>; I've played and watched enough magic to know that having good cards is like, 1/3 of the battle. Playing smart (and the damn shuffler) are the rest.

Into the finals with an absolute joke of a deck. WOO LUCK.

ISO · Post Post #1038 (ISO) » Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:13 pm

I do not know how I won with that pile of garbage. But I did!

Shadow1psc · Post Post #1039 (ISO) » Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:47 am

See above!

ISO · Post Post #1040 (ISO) » Fri Aug 10, 2012 7:39 am

Yeah. I played well. But I was surprised my cards just werent straight up outclassed.

Grimm's ONLY constructed deck has gone missing... but mysteriously, there are ten empty blue sleeves laying around. Garruk is missing, Terminus is missing, etc.

this kind of shit pisses me the fuck off

Who was in the house?

xRECKONERx · Post Post #1044 (ISO) » Fri Aug 10, 2012 10:58 pm

In the past week? A buncha people, but none that know enough to take those specific ones.

I don't think it was Pie duh. It's possible they just went missing, but it's just odd that the rarest ones in his deck went missing.

it might have been surgically grafted to Drew's liver. You'll have to vivisect him to be sure
